Summary
Ribosomal proteins isolated from 30S subunits ofE. coli in four laboratories have been correlated by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, immunological techniques, amino acid compositions and molecular weights. The results are given in the Table. A common nomenclature for naming 30 S ribosomal proteins and their genetic loci is proposed.
